Breakfast is oftentimes referred to as the most important meal of the day. Admittedly, I am guilty of skipping it sometimes! Whether it is due to being busy, or just not being a huge fan of the traditional breakfast.

This Low Carb Breakfast Idea is perfect though! Quick and easy to make, tons of ways to switch it up and you can even eat it on the go if you need to.

What kind of fruit is best to use?

In theory, all fruit is good for you; but the idea here is low carb! With that, you want fruits high in fiber and antioxidants. Not only will they break down better, it sticks to the ideal of being low carb.

Ideal fruits include:

Berries: strawberries, blackberries, blueberries
Kiwi fruit
Peaches or other stone fruits
Melon

Vegetable ideas for a low carb breakfast:

When picking vegetables, keep in mind that veggies with high fiber, will help lower the carbs. Higher fiber mean, less sugar, which means less carbs.

Vegetables such as:

Cauliflower
Bell peppers
Cucumbers
Broccoli
Spinach

These are merely suggestions, and happen to be some of my favorites!

Best cheese for frying:

When scoping out which cheese to go with, go for hard cheeses! They fry well and will not just end in a gooey mess. Instead, they will hold their structure. Cheeses like: white cheddar, halloumi or queso fresco are all great choices.

Aged white cheddar
Halloumi
Queso Fresco
Swiss

Most of these cheeses can be found right in your local grocers deli section.

Other things to add for a low-carb breakfast idea:

I think the fact that you can switch it up in so many different ways is one of my favorite parts of this recipe. Swap out for whichever fruits or veggies are in season. Eggs are amazing, and are definitely low carb. So add an egg.

Switch out the type of cheese, add bacon, or a different type of sauce. Add in a high fat, low carb dip like cream cheese, and enjoy it with a cup of black coffee. The options are endless!
